Referring to the holding of an exhibition in Kazakhstan to introduce Mazandaran Province as well as the capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Amir Miran Amoli said the exhibition, opened by the governor of Mazandaran, has created a good opportunity for mutual collaboration between the two countries.
He reported the formation of Kazakhstan’s export desk in Mazandaran’s export desk asserting, “following the signing of an MoU on increasing exports to Kazakhstan, we plan to hold frequent meetings with attendance of Mazandaran businessmen in order to accomplish the objectives.”
Pointing that Kazakhstan is the seventh largest country in the world, Miran Amoli said, “being rich in minerals and abundant crops, Kazakhstan marks a good platform for Iran’s agricultural products.”
The official pointed to the 2.5-million-ton citrus production volume in Mazandaran; “enjoying a high production level, we need to raise the ceiling for export,” he added.
Deeming the total volume of trade with Kazakhstan as low, Miran Amoli acknowledged, “we must identify obstacles faced by exporters to prevent Mazandaran’s neighboring countries from exporting Iranian products to Kazakhstan.”
He further enumerated goods currently being exported to Kazakhstan including dairy, citrus and cement; "the grounds for export of poultry will soon be provided and Mazandaran’s total export to Kazakhstan has reached 1.7 million tons over the past 7 months," he concluded.
